Diversion ahead


So here it is, my first offering to this most auspicious of competitions. Its ticks all the right boxes for a boogie classic. But the best bit is half way through when the breakdown kicks in. And oh what a breakdown, starting with ascending synths straight into dramatic keyboards followed by vocal effects overkill with finally a flute melody! Move over Michelle, Karen's taken over.

Woooah. Heavy,heavy tune. Looks like the ladies are duking it out.
This is baddass. Boogie power with a cosmic edge. Synthy breakdown is fire and even a helium freak out half way through. recorded live at a festival??

this is more like it, a brand new proposition, though have to admit after a promising start i felt the space monkey vocals were gonna blast me into a new galaxy, but in the end it did not move on to the next level.

loved the plinky plonky nob twiddling and synths, but needed a direction, and lacked any real oomph/funk/soul, a little bit wet by the end of the tune

sorry slipper but can only give it 6/10.

Yeah man. Loving this. I'm feeling the cosmic sound more and more these days and this has just the right amount of space dust.
heavy weight 8 out of 10 from me.

Balearic Mike plays this plenty on his mixes, 'Live at Suono' is his most amazing if you can find it out there, if someone can tell me how to upload I can share the love...

Only just spotted your comment here. Apologies for the slack attention to duty.

Maybe you can upload to mediafire or divshare and send us the link. I'll then upload it to the blog on your behalf.

Cheers mate
